VDA 5 – Measurement and Inspection Processes. Capability, Planning, Management ID 471

Contents
Several standards and guidelines exist that spell out the requirements for identifying and handling uncertainties in measurement and inspection processes. Companies face many issues in this area, particularly in the organization and certification of their quality management systems.

The training explains how to determine the capability of measurement and inspection processes, and how inspection processes are planned and carried out. Here product development is integrated into the inspection process. The program highlights the fluid borders between the related processes of inspection equipment management, inspection planning and inspection process management (incl. the defined roles). It also focuses on protecting against the risks associated with measurement and inspection processes. This two-day seminar covers all the topics surrounding measurement systems, measuring processes and inspection processes.

Objectives
• You can apply the methods set out in VDA Volume 5 in your own practice.
• You can protect against the risks associated with measurement and inspection processes.
• You know how to select the criteria for procuring your measuring and inspection equipment.
• You can recognize and quantify the factors that affect the suitability of the inspection process.
• You can document the suitability of the measuring system and the measuring process, and you know how to handle expanded measurement uncertainties at the limits of the specification.
• You are able to deal with non-capable measurement and inspection processes.
• You can evaluate the suitability of attributive inspection processes

Concept and Methods
The training combines compact lectures, intensive group work and feedback from an experienced trainer. Special attention is paid to trying out and practicing the specific activities in inspection process management using practical examples.

Target Audience
This training is aimed at:
• Employees who plan and/or execute the measuring and inspection processes, and/or procure, calibrate or operate inspection equipment,
• Employees working in product design and tolerance specification,
• Employees at companies that produce measuring equipment and apparatus.

Prerequisites for Attendance
• 1-3 years of professional experience in measurement technology and/or inspection equipment management – or comparable professional experience
• Basic knowledge of statistics (e.g. Gaussian, normal distribution, Anova, etc.)
• Basic knowledge of VDA 5, 2nd edition 2011

Certificate of Qualification
After passing the knowledge test (Multiple-Choice-Test), you will receive a certificate of qualification.

The VDA has published a revision (yellow band) of Band 2 – Production and Process Assurance.
The yellow bands are not final and offer the entire supply chain – i.e., every company that applies the band – the opportunity to submit an objection.
The objection may relate, for example, to effort, comprehensibility, wording, etc. Of course, the objection must be qualified and well-founded.
It will then be reviewed by the project group, which will either accept or reject it, and provide feedback to the submitter.
The link to download the volume and the feedback form is as follows:

In this post, we have focused on providing an initial overview. On our website, you will find a more detailed description and a comparison of the changed content and chapters at the following link.

VDA Volume 2 defines the production process and product approval procedure (PPF) as a central control instrument for ensuring quality, conformity, and deliverability in the automotive supply chain. It ensures that products and production processes meet all agreed customer requirements and that risks are controlled before series production begins.

The 7th edition (2025) takes into account the increased requirements resulting from more complex products, globalized supply chains, and shorter development cycles. The central guiding principle is a consistently risk-based approach: the scope and depth of the PPF are based on product, process, and change risks – not on rigid document requirements. This clearly shifts the focus from formal completeness to effectiveness and decision quality.

Production and process approval is a mandatory prerequisite for series delivery. Overall responsibility for the process lies with the organization – including outsourced processes and the supply chain. Existing evidence from upstream approvals (e.g., Tier n-PPF or PPAP) can be integrated.

Significant changes, Volume 6 to Volume 7:

1. Strong focus on the risk-based approach:
o Inclusion of the recommendation of VDA and industry standards for electronic components "VDA 210-300 Multiple Source" and "VDA 210-200 HW-DQM"
o An addition for off-the-shelf automotive AEC-Q qualified electronic components.
o New PPF procedures are no longer limited to 12 months in the event of production interruptions, but are now linked to the risk of the product and production process.
o A new feature is the mandatory early coordination of the PPF procedure between the organization and the customer. This provides clarity about the scope, evidence, roles, scheduling, and escalation paths and reduces subsequent conflicts, delays, and additional claims.
2. Less work involved:
o The requirements for evidence catalogs have been reduced and are now determined by the scope of the PPF procedure based on the risk level of the products to be approved.
This has reduced the number of verifications to be submitted and also strengthened the referencing of existing verifications.
o Important: The process diagram for customer involvement replaces the trigger matrix (at the end of volume 6). Goal: Risk-based approach by deciding whether internal PPF is sufficient or whether additional PPF procedures with the customer are necessary.
3. Change to the software in the PPF process
o Software is explicitly anchored as a PPF-relevant product component
The 7th edition clarifies that software (including embedded software, software updates, and configuration data) is fully subject to the PPF process and no longer implicitly "runs along" with hardware approvals.
o Risk-based PPF application to software versions and changes
Software changes (e.g., feature updates, bug fixes, calibrations) require a risk-based assessment of whether and to what extent a PPF or a staged PPF is necessary – regardless of hardware changes.
o Stricter requirements for software configuration and version management
The 7th edition emphasizes the need for clear software versions, version labels, and traceability as a prerequisite for product and process approval as well as for field measures.
o Integration of software-specific evidence into the PPF process
Software tests, verification and validation evidence (e.g., functional, integration, or regression tests) are clearly recognized as permissible and necessary PPF evidence and are systematically incorporated into the release decision.
o Greater management responsibility for software-driven risks
OTA updates, functional activations, and late software changes are increasingly shifting the risk to series production. The 7th edition makes it clear: software approvals are management decisions because they have a direct impact on product safety, conformity, and liability.
o A key performance indicator board for software
